DAILY FANTASY PROJECTIONS AND PLAY OR FADE ADVICE

He is projected for 8.1 FanDuel points and 6.1 points on DraftKings. Based on the player pool average points per dollar he is coming up -$294 short of $3.1K on FanDuel and -$516 short of $3.9K on DraftKings. Their should be much better options (see below). Barring a significant lineup change consider him a daily fantasy player to fade. Below are how he ranks based on projected fantasy points on both DFS platforms. Look for players with more FPs at lower salaries.

REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK

Expect Jason Kipnis to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 79.4 projected fantasy points puts him at #26 behind Steve Wilkerson and ahead of Howie Kendrick. He has averaged 2.48 fantasy points in his past 247 games. Our projected per game average is virtually the same. He is projected to average 2.6 fantasy points. His rank based on average projected points is the same as his rank based on total fantasy points. He is slightly overrated if you compare his ownership based rank with his projection rank. At 44%, he is the #24 most highly owned second baseman. Jason Kipnis is expected to come up short of this season-to-date's #19 fantasy position rank.
